Darwin's lack of evidence

by Half banana in

while making bread this morning and between answering the door and phone calls, i listened on steam radio to the programme in our time with melvyn bragg.

his panel of experts explained how the discovery of thousands of bird fossils has revolutionised our perception of avian evolution.

i recall watchtower literature smugly presenting darwin’s admissions in his origin of the species that the geological evidence for bird evolution is “imperfect” in fact missing.

"aww, But it's not MY fault, someone else is to blame!"

i was just thinking about the account of adam and eve, and how they both attempted to 'pass the buck', or shift the blame to someone else.

eve to the snake, and adam to eve.... does that sound familiar??.

the society has never taken ownership of its mistakes!

No other religion is as guilty as JW religion—you know why?

by venus in

all other religions have myths that show satan as inferior to god almighty.

but only jw religion portrays satan more powerful than god through their teaching of “issue of sovereignty” which implies god almighty needs validation from satan as though he waits till satan is satisfied which has not happened even after killing of jesus 2000 years ago and things like ethnic cleansing, spilling of oceans of blood ….

etc..

And that's supposed to be worse than the Heaven's Gate group that castrated and poisoned their members? Or the Jim Jones religious groups that poisoned hundreds of people? How about all those other religions that cover sexual abuse of children? Are they all better than the JWs because they portray Satan properly according to you? I'm certainly not defending the JWs, my point is why is that supposed to matter?

Radio Ministers explain Satan's actions

by days of future passed in

as i was driving home last night, i happened onto a radio station that had two "ministers" answering questions from the listeners.. they were just as clever as the wt in twisting explanations.

i had to laugh as well as shake my head over the manipulation of the scriptures.

the last question was, why does satan attack god's holy city after he is let loose at the end of the 1,000 years.

Why I lost my religion

by Sour Grapes in

i was a jw for over 50 years and recently just stopped cold turkey going to the meetings.

years of sitting at the meetings with the boredom, the gloom and doom, repetition of doctrine, the gloom and doom, the fake love, the gloom and doom, the end being so close, do more - do more, just got to be too much for me to stomach.

i stopped praying to god and no longer thank god for the food before i eat.

I hope you feel better after venting. Thank you for sharing. Your post may help others that may be afraid of taking the step you just took.

“There’s nothing out there in the world for you...”

by Jules Saturn in

how would you guys react if or when you were told this phrase by a jw while having a conversation?

another phrase is “this world...” or “this system, like gum will chew you up and when it’s done with you, spit you right back out.”.

one i’ve been personally told was from a convert that had told me “whenever i speak to young ones that want to know if the grass is greener on the other side, i tell them i was a part of it.
